       In 2019, Charmaine and writer Effie Efthymiadi initiated ONEIRIC SPACE, a research and publishing practice exploring the interplay between dreams and waking life at an individual and collective level. Through conversations, collaborations, and experiments across disciplines, the project reflects on the multiplicity of ways to view, understand, and engage with dreams and dreaming. Currently, it consists of a newsletter, gatherings, and an online interview archive. Charmaine is a fellow at Künstlerdorf Schöppingen and was an artist-in-residence at Muzeum Susch.
